00:05:54launched since the since the end of the pandemic and even before the pandemic the economy was already
00:05:59being recovered little by little when the pandemic hit and this has also been one of the many examples
00:06:05that have been put forward as one of the many areas that were impacted and impacted the people of venezuela
00:06:13with the with the the fact that venezuela had to face how we call the challenge of the pandemic being
00:06:20sanctioned being blocked and all the different strategies and measures that they had to activate
00:06:23and the creative solutions that they had to find to be able to overcome the the challenges of the pandemic
00:06:32so as we continue to see life this massive caravan that is entering the the capital of venezuela
00:06:39through one of the main main avenues of the nation entering being led by the authorities the the acting
00:06:48president of venezuela rodriguez the the president of the national assembly ho Jorge rodriguez and the
00:06:53interior justice and peace just that cabello that we're seeing right now there in the center of that
00:07:00truck that is leading the charge the march of this caravan talking about the impact of this action of
00:07:08course it had a very negative impact across different sectors agriculture health education
00:07:14all different sectors were impacted by the by these sanctions but what we have seen in the past
00:07:21years is venezuelan people come out together people those people that decided to stay in venezuela to
00:07:28work to in to use their efforts to bring venezuela forward we saw venezuela to come forward
00:07:35how with their own efforts were able to increase production to be able to increase different
00:07:40industries that did not exist before to be able to carry out innovative entrepreneurship to be able to
00:07:47bring forward the recovery of the economic the economy of the nation if we recall venezuela was a
00:07:53nation that its main aspect was the hydrocarbon sector and due to the sanctions and the blockades that
00:07:59impacted the nation they pretty much lost 99 percent of those incomes that came from that hydrocarbon sector
00:08:07which trigger a very serious crisis in a nation as when you lose pretty much 90 percent of your income
00:08:15you have to find many people as the authorities have said many people would have not been able to
00:08:20but as the authorities have said throughout these past days of pilgrimage venezuela venezuelans found a way
00:08:27to stand up and find a way to overcome those challenges and with their own efforts to be able to
00:08:34create
00:08:35find these creative solutions to be able to begin the economic recovery and today we see a venezuela that
00:08:40has a stronger production that it had before the the sanctions that it had before the deep blockades
00:08:48but still there are many obstacles as the authorities have said that these sanctions of course impose since
00:08:53they prohibit the nation to have regular relationships with with the international with the international
00:09:00community as we have seen the authority said that with just the temporary lifting of some of those
00:09:05sanctions like for example the integration of the venezuela central bank to the international finance system
00:09:12venezuela has begun to see changes so the the question is that have been made that has been made by
00:09:19all the
00:09:19authorities throughout this day of pilgrimage where would venezuela be once all the sanctions are lifted
00:09:25so in a way that's what they're calling for a different end of the sanctions that's why venezuelans have
00:09:30come together as we have seen throughout these past 11 days and as we are seeing here today with this
00:09:36massive
00:09:37large demo motorcade demonstration of of people on their way to the center of the capital as we're seeing
00:09:45with the with the caravan being led by the by these free authorities the acting president of venezuela the

00:11:56these past days this is not something of one single party since the sanction only affects the members of

00:36:42So, with music, with music,
00:36:46a life , joy,
00:36:48Finally, we see the Venezuelan people gathered here making clear message that the Venezuelans
00:36:57are proud of Venezuela.
00:36:58People have gathered here for the conclusion of this first stage of the great national
00:37:04pilgrimage for the sanctioned free nation that took place across all different states
00:37:11of people from different sectors have come together to express their hope, to express
00:37:16their willingness to continue working for Venezuela, to continue working for Venezuela
00:37:21and reaffirming a united code to end all sanctions and blockade.
00:37:29Now the host of the event as we're saying live is presenting the first speaker of this
00:37:36closing event, a pastor which will give a prayer of thanks for all this that has taken place.
00:37:48The pastor is saying, coming for God to bless Venezuela, to bless the people of Venezuela
00:37:56in this path of peace.
00:37:59Reaffirming that the church cannot remain silent in the face of the challenges that are happening.
00:38:10As we go over the news that has taken place on another resilient life in our images, the
00:38:16Venezuelan people have come together as we are seeing by the thousands and thousands to
00:38:20welcome the great national pilgrimage that today concludes its first stage here in the
00:38:24capital of the Bolivarian Republic with a clear message to call for the end of the sanctions,
00:38:30to call for an end of blockades and to call for an end of the unilateral coercive measures.
00:38:37A national pilgrimage where the authorities went across west, south and east,
00:38:43gathering here in the capital at the conclusions of this great national pilgrimage,
00:38:47meeting with different sectors of Venezuela, with all sectors of Venezuelans in every state that
00:38:55their pilgrimage ran through, speaking with the people face to face, speaking as also an
00:39:02exercise of unity as different sectors in different states came together in one single meeting point
00:39:08for coming up with solutions, proposing solutions as a united Venezuela to overcome the challenges the
00:39:18country faces due to the sanctions imposed against all these years of blockade.
00:39:24And this is a clear example of Venezuela standing up, of Venezuelan coming forward united to defend its
00:39:34productive future and to be able to work together and raise the awareness of the people that still
00:39:42believe that the sanctions did not impact Venezuela as a whole.
00:39:47We are going to continue live here in this milestone event that without that is marking an important point in
00:39:55history for the Bolivarian Republic.
00:40:10Other pastors of another church will now also provide, as part of this conclusion of this first national pilgrimage,
00:40:20another pastor is also providing a prayer of peace for all of Venezuela gathered here on this important date.
00:40:33The pastor is saying that Venezuelans have gathered today here to pray for peace and saying that as the gospel
00:40:43says,
00:40:44everyone that works for peace can be referred to as son or daughter of God, which is the duty of
00:40:54all Venezuelans to work for peace,
00:40:57to work for justice and to live in brotherhood and sisterhood to be able to overcome adversities and challenges together.
00:41:08For those joining us now live, what is happening in Venezuela is the milestone conclusion of this first stage of
00:41:17the national pilgrimage that traveled across Venezuela since April 19th.
00:41:22And it is today coming here together in Caracas in the capital where it was received, as we are saying
00:41:30on our screens,
00:41:31by thousands and thousands of people lining on the streets.
00:41:34Thousands of people were also lining on the path as the caravan was entering the capital through one of the
00:41:39main avenues.
00:41:43And it's a clear message that Venezuela is resistant, as it has done for years now, continues to resist and
00:41:51will continue to resist united for a united Venezuela.
00:42:06The pastor continues to deliver a prayer for peace and justice in favor of all Venezuelans and the Bolivarian Republic.
00:42:17The Lord is with you, and the blessing of the God Almighty, the Father, the Son, and the Son, and
00:42:24the Holy Spirit.
00:42:32Important homines are currently being witness in Venezuela as this great national pilgrimage comes to an end this Thursday, April
00:42:4230th.
00:42:45Venezuela that has come together throughout different states in this great national pilgrimage, calling for an end of sanctions, an
00:42:54end for blockades.
00:42:56And the people have dared together as we are seeing.
00:43:11They are going to give now a wave to the stage to a worker of the oil sector without one
00:43:17of the sectors most hardly hit by the U.S. and European sanctions.
00:43:24Let's listen to what this worker of the oil sector has to say.
00:43:36In first place, I would like to greet all the people of Caracas.
00:43:41In second place, I want to thank the Hydrocarbon Ministry, the Executive Board of Petroleos de Venezuela, for allowing me
00:43:49today to be the spokesperson of all the oil workers, not only of the West, but also of FalcĂłn and
00:43:56all different areas.
00:43:57Our own industry was impacted by several sanctions in the last years that impacted their productivity.
00:44:11Today, Venezuela rises as a spearhead at the global level at the eyes of the walls around Venezuela and its
00:44:21industry.
00:44:22For those that have worked and value our industry for many years, we know the opportunity and the commitment that
00:44:29we have ahead of us.
00:44:32The new hydrocarbon law opens new scenarios so that our end effort, mixed companies and private companies can come together
00:44:43with one single purpose, to generate greater wealth extracting hydrocarbons.
00:44:49A new stage, Republican stage begins in the oil industry where we need to modernize the gas and hydrocarbon industry.
00:45:00This will have positive consequences for the future of our country.
00:45:05I'm certain that with the support, with your support, with the support of our acting president, the support of our
00:45:15workers, we were able to bring our industry forward and it will flourish as a spearhead, as a company of
00:45:26order that is efficient and generates the necessary resources for the future of our people.
00:45:31Thank you very much.
00:45:33Thank you very much all.
00:45:33Let's continue moving forward and successes in this national pilgrimage.
00:45:53We are now going to listen to a woman representation of the lawmakers of the National Assembly that also accompany
00:46:06the whole process of the national
00:46:11administration to help этой action.
00:46:18And to other
00:46:25Democratic Alliance, we have accompanied this pilgrimage across Venezuela speaking freely, openly, with strength and responsibility, telling Venezuela and the
00:46:35world that today, the opposition
00:46:38parties that do life here in Venezuela are united in this pilgrimage that is
00:46:43not for the national government, it is for the dignity of an entire people. Today
00:46:49we are accompanying this pilgrimage for the dignity of Venezuela to tell the
00:46:55world that today the interests of Venezuela are above any political
00:47:01interests, that today the interests of Venezuela are above any idea, that today
00:47:08we are united that national tricolor and that is why that we have to make it
00:47:13clear and that is listened strongly here today that opposition parties is a
00:47:19responsible position, democratic opposition continues to bet for the
00:47:23construction of a Venezuela of peace free of sanctions and of course where we can
00:47:30meet each other as Venezuelans. To end this full greeting I have to make
00:47:36something clear we are aware that sanctions, the coercitive measures, have
00:47:42impacted the most vulnerable sectors of the country that is why that we must say
00:47:50that sanctions cannot continue limiting the progress of this country but on the
00:47:56contrary we must unite in our differences to be able to insist in the
00:48:02construction of that Venezuela of peace of opportunities for the new generations
00:48:05and where we all are needed. Thank you.
00:48:15Good afternoon, how are you? How are all the pilgrims? We greet you from here, from this space, with
00:48:27lots of love and respect, a great national day of pilgrimage across the territory that today ends its first phase.
00:48:38It's first stage and then continued by different sectors. Our sister president Delcey Rodriguez, when she
00:48:49listened to different sectors of the country, from business chambers, students, women, workers, they asked to do a great national
00:49:01day for peace and for the end of the blockade and sanctions against Venezuela.
00:49:09She was, it was received and immediately she told us we must do this activity and let's go around Venezuela.
00:49:17And we began with, by three fronts, one in the west from Zulia, our sister Desi came from Zulia, Jorge
00:49:24Rodriguez came from the south, from Amazonas of BolĂvar. I came from Tachira, Tachira, the plains and we arrived here
00:49:35in Caracas.
00:49:36But we did not arrive alone. We arrived accompanied by a people that wants peace for this country and demands
00:49:43the entire world that enough of blockades of sanctions against our country.
00:49:50And sister president, if something we have seen in all these talks on the states where you made the gatherings,
00:50:01the assemblies, is that there is a consensus, there is a consensus criteria in the country of the harm that
00:50:09the sanctions do to the Venezuelan people.
00:50:12The damage that these sanctions have been doing against our own people. Far was that council of one extremist sectors
00:50:23that the sanctions were only for the leadership of Chavez. Very far from that.
00:50:28The sanctions impact the same, all Venezuelans. Without distinctions of political colors, without distinctions of religion, without distinctions of ages,
00:50:40without any kind of distinctions, men, women, all, our children especially.
00:50:48That's why this day that today, I say again, comes to the end of its first stage, which has been
00:50:57a complete success.
00:50:58We must always recall that sanctions against Venezuela did not come about spontaneously. The sanctions against Venezuela came from haters,
00:51:11people that hated their own country.
00:51:14Haters of their own people. Haters of what was done here in Venezuela. And today, when we begin to see
00:51:26the results of standing together, united, firmly, a people with faith, with loss of faith, with loss of hope, we
00:51:35have the results there.
00:51:36And we know that the times for Venezuela will be the best times in many years. For Venezuela, good things
00:51:43are coming, without a doubt.
00:51:46While we stay united, working. While we stand doing what we must.
00:51:53Because, you know, dear colleagues, brothers and sisters, that many families suffer because a child left, two children left, some
00:52:08have returned today.
00:52:09But today, we must have our arms open and hearts open to embrace all Venezuelans returning to Venezuela.
00:52:19And we can give a true embrace, not deceitful embrace, and that we all work together to stabilize the nation.
00:52:27Sister President, I believe we have fulfilled the first stage of this pilgrimage.
00:52:32We must do more now. We must do more. But we can say that today Venezuela, north to south, east
00:52:41to west, by the west, by the south, by the center of Venezuela,
00:52:46rose once more, united as brothers and sisters. A big embrace to all of you. Long live the homeland.
00:52:57And with you, I give the floor, our sister Delcy, who was the mastermind of this pilgrimage. And I'm sure
00:53:06that she will give us more details.
00:53:09With all of you, Delcy Rodriguez, Acting President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.
00:53:15...
00:53:26Amigo soy, soy amigo, y va diciendo.
00:53:47Por los caminos, amigo soy, soy amigo.
00:54:07Tus manos no empuñan armas, sus palabras son de vida.
00:54:24Tus palabras son de vida.
00:54:31¡Que viva Venezuela!
00:54:33Don't leave Venezuela.
00:54:35Say it up high that our love for Venezuela can be listed everywhere.
00:54:41We arrived here in Caracas.
00:54:44On April 19th of this year, all Venezuelans began this pilgrimage in the search.
00:54:54And in that search for a new spirituality that allows us to coexist, to encounter the embrace
00:55:05among all of us, we found a people, we found a people that came from the mountains, from
00:55:14the south, we are indigenous peoples, from the plains, from MĂ©ganos, from the west, that
00:55:22came with their own culture, with their expressions, beautiful expressions of cultural identity,
00:55:28that for centuries we have been building, from our chieftains that gave the struggle against
00:55:38colonial powers, that we have been building since our independence process, with SimĂłn BolĂvar
00:55:47people who are at the helm, are heroes of independence fight.
00:55:54And this pilgrimage, in every state, we found with the faith, we found each other with the
00:56:05faith of our people, in every home of prayer, greeting to all priests and pastors.
00:56:16We also found, with the great potentials of production that Venezuela has, that have been impacted
00:56:28by the economic blockade, but that we must also say it has been following a process of
00:56:37economic recovery, thanks to the unity of our people.
00:56:41In that pilgrimage, we also found, with the hopes of a youth that seeks the Venezuela of tomorrow,
00:56:50Venezuela, we found, and we embraced with our grandparents, heartily hit by the criminal sanctions.
00:56:59In that pilgrimage as well, we met with political oppositions as well.
00:57:08So, I want to thank the Democratic Action Party, COPEI, Venezuela First, Cambio First Justice, Cambiemos, Avanzada Progressista, and I
00:57:22ask the
00:57:23pilgrimage to give a step forward.
00:57:28I want to thank them for the, for accompanying this pilgrimage.
00:57:33That we were able to greet each other, see each other.
00:57:38And from our differences, from our differences within the party, we found a common cause.
00:57:44And that common cause is called Venezuela.
00:57:50That's the Venezuela in which we believe.
00:57:53A Venezuela that has rights, that has rights to diversity.
00:58:00John Hector recalled me that we are next to the garden, which is the most rich and diverse garden that
00:58:11exists.
00:58:12Because there you have the wealth of our wildlife.
00:58:17And that's the same with Venezuela.
00:58:20It's a rich country in its ethnic diversity, cultural diversity, political diversity.
00:58:24There is a space for everyone here.
00:58:27I've said this, Venezuela is greater than differences.
00:58:31And we arrived in Caracas with great hopes.
00:58:35I want to greet the Minister of People's Power for Defense and the high military command that has accompanied us
00:58:44in this pilgrimage.
00:58:46I want also to welcome the exit cabinet that accompanies in this pilgrimage and in these actions.
00:58:56And we arrived in Caracas excited.
00:59:00We arrived in Caracas with great emotions following what we saw.
00:59:08And if there is a strength that we must highlight is that the Venezuelan people never surrenders.
00:59:13The Venezuelan people never kneels.
00:59:16The Venezuelan people always stand strong in the face of adversity, in the face of challenges.
00:59:25A legacy of our liberator hero, Simone Bolivar.
00:59:31What a glory these people have.
00:59:36How much dignity these people have.
00:59:39And I say this because yesterday we were in La Guayra and today in Caracas.
00:59:46And there were places that were targeted by the January 3rd attack.
00:59:50A military aggression, unjustified aggression.
00:59:53A military aggression that has no space.
00:59:58Immediately we stood strong and we said we are going to resolve our differences with diplomacy, with political dialogue.
01:00:10And I have to say it that we are getting results.
01:00:18Recently we received the second U.S. charged affair that has arrived in Venezuela after seven years of a closed
01:00:27embassy.
01:00:28And in Washington, the delegation of the Bolivarian peace diplomacy is currently there deployed working to bring the truth of
01:00:40the Venezuelan people.
01:00:42We have not surrendered.
01:00:47And we report to our people of what it means to build a diplomatic agenda of cooperation.
01:00:54Today, after seven years, the first commercial flight arrived in Venezuela from the United States.
01:01:05Thanks to the diplomatic agenda between two governments that decided to put their best efforts on the basis of respect,
01:01:13sit and dialogue and advance.
01:01:16And we have been building a work agenda in the energy field, in the mining field.
01:01:23I want to thank the words of Gerardo, worker of the oil sector.
01:01:30I want to ask a big round of applause to all workers of the hydrocarbon industry.
01:01:42Because today, Venezuela has recovered once again its level of 1.2 million barrels of production.
01:01:53And I ask for this applause because you know very well that due to the blockade, the naval blockade that
01:02:03we had in December and January, we had decreased production.
01:02:07And it gives me great satisfaction that now that hours from May 1st, Labor Day, I can tell you here
01:02:16with truth in hand with the workers, with the oil workers, with petrochemical workers, we can say to Venezuela, we
01:02:25are here.
01:02:25We never surrender, we never surrender, we never desist, and we set a horizon.
01:02:32That horizon of growth, of productive growth, that we know that by the end of the year, we'll be here
01:02:42in front of our people telling them we have reached the 1.4 million barrels.
01:02:50We have reached the 1.5 million barrels, the 1.5 million barrels that we have reached the 1.5
01:03:04million barrels, at least a year, we have reached the 1.5 million barrels.
01:03:25petroleum, they have come under the standards of the Venezuelan government, under the standards
01:03:29of the new hydrocarbon law, under the laws of our republic, under the respect that means
01:03:37to have cooperation relations in the framework of our dignity, economic dignity.
01:03:45And what that is telling us is that by the year 2030, 2040, we will be able to say not
01:03:57only
01:03:58that we have the best economic growth of our region as we have it today, but also we will
01:04:06be able to say that we will have the best income of Latin America, that we will look
01:04:13at that future, and that we know that we will, that we are advancing with determination,
01:04:20with faith, with optimism, with hope.
01:04:25A few hours from the day of the, of workers, of Labor Day, I want to make some announcements.
01:04:35The first announcement that I want to make is that the integral minimum wage will reach
01:04:44the equivalent of $240. I must highlight that is the most important increase in the last
01:04:56years. We have never had an increase that allows us to have this level. I want to invite as well,
01:05:09Work Minister Carlos Alexis, because today we signed a very important agreement on the table
01:05:19for the consensus for the work consensus and social consensus. We have signed both, both the Bolivarian
01:05:29unions and opposition unions together with the employee sector, the employer sector, the commitment
01:05:40to this minimum income that the private sector is also called on to implement. In those cases, where it is
01:05:49inferior to the equivalent of $240. I want also to report that our grandparents, the hardest hit, will have
01:06:00a pension equivalent to the $70 and that this means an increase of 40%. It is not enough. It is
01:06:10not enough.
01:06:10We are still have much to do and that's why I ask for a special plan of attention for our
01:06:19grandparents.

01:08:24I want to ask the work minister, Carlos Alexis, to inform about this important agreement that we have reached today
01:08:33among the unions of the country, the workers of
01:08:37of Venezuela and the business sector.
01:08:51Minister, this is the reflection of the tables that you installed that two weeks ago and now we are seeing
01:08:57the positive effects for the working class, effective effect for productivity of the country.
01:09:02Minister, this agreement, this agreement is a consensus among all unions, both the Bolivarian union as well as CTV, the
01:09:14independent Venezuela union as well, and the two organizations of chambers and business.
01:09:23Minister, they are very proud to be your brother and sisters.
01:09:31So, this is what is expressed.
01:09:31What is expressed there is that we can understand each other.
01:09:35That when I see the workers protesting, I tell them, you're right.
01:09:44We want better income for our workers.

01:09:56there the first step to be able to guarantee the purchasing power of
01:10:01workers please and also concerns on behalf of the workers that are not

01:10:19finance and economy of a full recovery of the functioning of the work inspection
01:10:26so that workers have where they can the place where they can be heard that they
01:10:33have a way that they can be defended all the rights and revindication as workers
01:10:40granted by the law welcome to the inspections of work we have listened
01:10:47also to the business sector and that's why the importance of consensus of work
01:10:52consensus I asked something of you we have to formalize work we have to
01:11:02formalize all workers so that they can have the protection of the state and the
01:11:08protection of the law the level of formal work is very low that's why we

01:11:27workers of the country let's formalize for the respect of the workday so there are
01:11:35no abuses let's respect their rights of our workers and I've also asked this table
